The all-seasons may be okay in the beginning, but I found them to be less than satisfactory once I had a few thousand miles on them.
In the warm dry weather, they're actually very good... better than I expected.
In the cold weather though... they're hockey pucks and start to slip and slide, even on wet roads.
 
Even with an X model, I opted for a set of Blizzaks on dedicated wheels ($800 from Tire Rack) and now this car is an absolute tank in the snow.
 
You may get by with all-seasons in the beginning, but if you intend on driving this is harsh snow/winter conditions, consider snow tires.

Just picked up a 2008 G35xS - black on black, prem, nav, sprt, tech. Like another poster above, coming out of a BMW M3. So far so good, way too much to read - need a pilots license.

Ok sorry for being out of the loop, but the G35xS is a new model? Does it have the AWD & it's still comes in an automatic? Why doesn't it come up on the Infiniti site so you can build one? I know, all these questions. Well here is another one.
I know that you could only order an S model if you wanted white with the black interior. Can you now order this color combo with the xS model?
By the way I was at the Infiniti dealer this weekend and I did see a G35 with a different front facia and now I understand why, it was probably this new G35xS model. Very nice I might add.

The S sport option is an option to the G35X model and becomes a G35xS. It was a late year available option to the 2008 all wheel drive models. It is not a separate model per se, but becomes one by selecting a G35X base model and then adding the Sport package. The same limitations on sport selections apply (no wood trim, etc.) all of which can be checked on the web site vehicle configuration tools.

X or Xsport??? by oz44

Ok guy's, I already made a deal to lease a G35X in 2 weeks but my dealer came back yesterday offering me an X Sport that he just received on the lot for $900 more on to my sale price. Decent deal since the invoice option is $948.
 
I didn't think about getting the X sport b/c my commute is about an 1hr to and from work everyday. Crazy DC traffic!!! With that said is there anyone out there that has this same situation with long commutes? What are your opinions? I'm going to test drive it when I go in but I really won't get the full effect of how it will be day in and day out.
 
Thanks for your opinions
Chris

I'd say go for it. Although the one I ordered hasn't arrived yet, IMHO, the seats seemed much more comfotable and would probably be worth it from that angle alone.

Go and check it out yourself.
For every person who likes the sport seats, there's another who hates them.
You have to be the right shape to fit into the sport seat comfortably. Some have even had to go as far as having a shop remove the metal plates from the adjustable sections to add to the comfort level.
 
If you're of an average size, you'll most likely like them.
If you have a large and/or muscular frame, they may not be right for you.
 
You're doing the right thing by checking it out yourself. Just do yourself the favor of spending a little time in the seats before deciding.

The sport ride will be basically the same as the basic X you were buying - there is no suspension upgrades that I am aware of with that package. The major differences are cosmetic and the addition of sport seats, which are no where near as restrictive as many other sport seats and quite adjustable. The 18" wheels and all season tires will not effect the ride that much, but increase the look. Hope you are getting Nav (with traffic) - it will make D.C. beltway driving more sane. Go for it - for the price you will get a subtly better looking car with better wheels, tires, and what I think is a very comfortable seat.

Thanks for the quick replies!!!! I will have to go in for myself like I said but I do like to hear other people's opinions so I can make own. I didn't realize the suspension wasn't stiffer. That may make my decision a little easier to going with the sport.
 
Oh, by the way, I'll have Nav,Prem & Tech for sure.
 
Can someone confirm the suspension on the X sport is the same as the X.

Why not ask the dealer to alllow you to have the car over night? I did this and the dealer allowed me to pick up the car Saturday at closing and return it Monday morning. This allowed me to have a good test drive and night driving too.
